Class Token

object --+
         |
        Token

An OAuth credential used to request authorization or a protected resource.

Tokens in OAuth comprise a *key* and a *secret*. The key is included in requests to identify the token being used, but the secret is used only in the signature, to prove that the requester is who the server gave the token to.

When first negotiating the authorization, the consumer asks for a *request token* that the live user authorizes with the service provider. The consumer then exchanges the request token for an *access token* that can be used to access protected resources.
